A guy from China is reshaping glowing particles into... a jellyfish, a statue, a dragon, and a samurai just by moving his hands in front of a camera No controller, no mouse, no keyboard Just a camera reading his hand position and a particle system recalculating thousands of points in real time, morphing one shape straight into the next Clench both fists at the end, and everything collapses into nothing This is running live at 60fps, not pre-rendered The entire scene sits inside a wireframe box tracking every motion as raw geometry reshapes into whatever his hands tell it to becomeshow more

This guy built a visual scanner that reads 468... points on his face and 42 points on his hands from a regular webcam and turns them into a cloud of thousands of particles right between his palms. Inside, MediaPipe and TouchDesigner are linked: the first captures hands and face from the webcam with high accuracy, the second turns those coordinates into a live plane and feeds it into a POP system that instantly generates a swarm of particles in the shape of a head. No studio, no render farmer, no VR headset. Just a laptop, a webcam, and 1 TouchDesigner session. And traditional VJ studios keep teams of 5 people on a setup with lighting, custom hardware, and commercial plugins, while his expenses are only a TouchDesigner subscription and a regular USB camera. One laptop runs MediaPipe and TouchDesigner simultaneously, holds the camera stream at 60 FPS without drops, and in parallel processes 468 face points + 21 points on each hand. The camera captures frame after frame, MediaPipe in real time sends TouchDesigner the finger coordinates and face geometry, and the POP operator inside the engine translates those numbers into thousands of particle points with colors from bright pink to gold. This setup immediately defines the role of the tool and the limits of its autonomy. It knows where the fingertips are at every moment of the frame. It knows how to read the face geometry at any angle to the camera. It knows how to draw a swarm of particles between them with the right color and contour. → MediaPipe pulls 468 points from the face and 21 points from each hand, 60 times per second → TouchDesigner receives those coordinates, builds a virtual rectangle between the fingertips, and feeds it into the POP system → POP generates thousands of particle points in the shape of a head, coloring them in a gradient from bright pink to gold → The HUD layer adds green corners and a blue neon frame, styling the image like an AR interface → All layers assemble into 1 real-time frame that projects back onto the video in the camera window → The final image is recorded to a file or broadcast to a projector for a live installation And only when the guy spreads his hands wider does the plane between the palms stretch; brings them together, it narrows. Otherwise the system runs on its own. And when he moves from his home room to a concert hall, the same laptop with the same webcam launches the same TouchDesigner session in just 5 minutes, without reconfiguration, without a new team, and without a single line of new code. In his work setup there is no studio of his own and no team for assembly. On the desk sits a laptop with a webcam, on top run MediaPipe and TouchDesigner with POP operators, and the same setup through a USB camera moves to any concert without a new configuration. Out of everything I have seen this year, this is the cleanest Creative Coding setup on 1 laptop: 0 render farms, 0 studio lighting, and between them 3 libraries, thousands of particle points, and 1 webcam.show more

This has been circulating in expedition forums for weeks.... No location. No names. No paper. Someone with a camera walked up to an opening in the rock and started filming. Look at what's inside. It's not a bear. Bears have fur, and this doesn't. It's not a rock. Rocks don't have that shape. Whatever it is, it fills the entire cavity. Nothing behind it. Nothing beside it. Just this. The clip ends before anyone gets closer. Nobody does. What do you think is inside that cave?show more

We’ve seen guys like Judge, Stanton, Wells and others... tinker with their stances to get into a better hitting position to attack strikes in the zone. When a guy like Volpe has struggled to hit consistently for his first 3 years, is constantly late on mid-velocity heaters in the middle of the zone and is constantly off-balance when he misses the off-speed stuff; you think to take a look at his pre-pitch habits especially what he’s doing with his hands and stride, and consider eliminating some of the unnecessary movements to simplify things and be ready to attack a pitch in the strike zone sooner. Volpe starts with his hands high above his head with some waggle to probably keep his hands moving and stay in rhythm, then as he strides he drops his hands into the slot while he loads, then wraps his hands behind him as he strides and keeps his weight back on his backside. That front foot needs to get down early as he gets his hands back to be ready to smoke something in the zone. Why hasn’t someone suggested dropping his hands pre-pitch in his stance to get them into the slot early, keep them back to prevent wrapping, and cut out one less moving part to get him better ready to attack pitches in the zone? He can even still have some waggle back there if he prefers to keep his hands moving. In theory if his hands are down and back already, all he needs to do is get his front foot down in time? It’s worth a try lolshow more

Flux 3 is here! One of my first tests.... Very impressive. Prompt : Hyper realistic blockbuster cinematic 15 second action sequence in one true unbroken continuous shot, with no cuts, no morphing, and no scene transitions. A rally car races along a narrow alpine cliff road in bright cold daylight, escaping a falling avalanche and trying to reach a tunnel before the route is buried. The camera begins high above in a wide aerial view revealing snow peaks, sheer drops, and the winding road, then physically dives toward the car into a close tracking chase. It glides beside the doors, drops low near the spinning tires as snow sprays, rises overhead to reveal the avalanche rushing behind, then arcs outward into a high circling drone like view before descending again into a front facing backward tracking move. The shot remains seamless throughout as the car drifts around icy switchbacks, clips loose snow, and bursts toward the tunnel just ahead of the collapsing slope.show more

esto antes era un secreto industrial. ahora está abierto.... Seedance 2.0 on Higgsfield AI PROMPT 👇 [VISUAL] Shot on ARRI Alexa 35 with anamorphic lenses, cinematic film look, rich color science, organic highlight rolloff, subtle halation, fine film grain, practical in-camera lighting only, real haze, atmospheric particles, natural lens flares, no CGI. Continuing on the empty NYC street between tall buildings, under a harsh midday sun with heat haze rising from the asphalt. The young Latino man walks slowly, exhausted by the heat, handheld camera following from behind at hip height with a slight Dutch angle. He suddenly stops, noticing something ahead. The camera arcs around into a low-angle medium close-up as he stares in confusion. About six meters in front of him, a cold aluminum soda bottle floats at chest height, glowing with a soft white light. Faint cold mist curls from its surface as it gently levitates and slowly rotates, casting a subtle pool of white light onto the asphalt. The camera pushes past his shoulder to reveal the bottle, then tracks forward as he cautiously walks toward it. The bottle’s cool glow softly lights one side of his face while the warm sunlight lights the other. He stops a couple of meters away and slowly raises his hand. The bottle immediately stops drifting and smoothly descends into his open palm. As it touches his hand, the glow fades away, leaving an ordinary cold bottle covered in condensation. The camera tilts up to his face as he looks at it with a small, relieved smile. Slow-motion emphasizes the reveal, the approach, and the bottle descending into his hand before returning to real time. [AUDIO] No music. SFX only. Distant city ambience, warm wind, footsteps, breathing, a faint harmonic hum from the floating bottle, subtle hiss of cold mist, a gentle whoosh as it descends, a soft metallic touch when it lands in his hand, and silence as the glow disappears.show more

From a blank screen to an entire world. Wery... AI turns imagination into reality. Made with Seedance 2.0 on WeryAI Wery Prompt: Cinematic AI Video Prompt A frustrated young male creator sits alone in a dark creative studio, staring at a completely blank computer monitor. He rests his hand on his forehead, looking stuck and out of ideas. The room is moody and cinematic, with soft monitor glow and deep shadows. The blank screen suddenly begins transforming into a vivid cinematic world. The camera smoothly pushes toward the monitor and transitions seamlessly inside it, revealing an enchanting fantasy forest filled with enormous ancient trees, glowing purple-pink foliage, exotic plants, soft mist, and a crystal-clear stream reflecting warm rays of sunlight. Magical particles float gently through the air as the camera slowly travels forward through the forest. The scene then dramatically transitions into a sleek futuristic black supercar speeding through a winding mountain road at dusk. The car accelerates aggressively around the curves, tires producing subtle smoke and sparks, glowing red taillights reflecting across the wet asphalt. Massive mountains surround the road with a bright full moon in the background. Ultra-cinematic commercial look, photorealistic details, dynamic camera movement, smooth transitions, volumetric lighting, atmospheric fog, realistic reflections, shallow depth of field, dramatic contrast, premium VFX, realistic motion blur, 4K quality. End with a powerful tracking shot behind the supercar as it disappears into the mountain road. Duration: 15 seconds. Aspect ratio: 16:9. No text, no logos, no watermark.show more

Turn your imagination into motion on Grok. How? Prompt:... A mysterious beautiful woman sits calmly on a throne made of stars floating in deep space. Galaxies slowly swirl around her like a crown and her dress is made of nebula fabric that gently moves like cosmic smoke. Soft glowing cosmic rim light illuminates her face and detailed realistic skin texture is visible. After a moment she slowly rises from the throne and begins a graceful slow ballet movement in zero gravity. As she stands, the star throne dissolves into thousands of glowing particles and orbiting lights. She performs a soft elegant spin and extends her arms, and her motion causes surrounding galaxies and stardust to follow her movement as if she controls gravity. Her hair flows naturally in weightlessness. No fast dancing — slow, serene ballet, quiet power. The background is deep black space with colorful nebulae and distant suns. Cinematic camera with a slow floating push-in at the beginning, then a gentle orbit around her during the ballet spin, shallow depth of field, smooth motion, no shaking. Scene timing: 0-3 seconds she sits on the star throne with galaxies slowly moving, 3-6 seconds she stands and the throne dissolves into particles, 6-10 seconds she performs a slow ballet spin in zero gravity while galaxies react to her motion. Her movements subtly bend space around her as gravity responds to her presence. Realistic physics, volumetric particles, detailed fabric simulation, no distortion, no extra limbs, no flickering. 4K cinematic quality, 24fps film look, slow motion, calm graceful movement like underwater.show more

After a lifetime together, neither of them wanted to... let go. The old lion no longer has the strength he once did. His steps are slower, his mane is weathered, and his eyes carry the weight of many years. As his caretaker kneels beside the mane in tears, he gently leans into her hands and closes his eyes, trusting the same person who stood beside him through every season of his life. No words are needed. Just a lion, an old friend, and one quiet moment that says everything. Some goodbyes are spoken with a touch instead of words.show more

There's been an unfortunate incident in LA with a... Uhaul plowing into a crowd of anti-Khameini protestors This man should never have been able to get near the crowd with a uhaul but some info about the situation seem to be - signage on the truck is anti both the shah and the current ayatollah. is this his actual position or is this camouflage to have gotten into the protest to perpetrate an attack? "no Shah, No regime, No Mullah" Mullah is a religious leader so possibly referring to the current leader and not a king like Pahlavi Timeline appears to be - anti-Khameini protestors try to rip signs off his vehicle and are bashing on the windows and eventually his passenger side window is broken - guy in uhaul then stutterstops forward into the crowd, eventually accelerating further, then stuttering again, then full stopping down the road - there is a man surfing on top of the uhaul in the 3rd video, below I have posted another video showing the man on top of the uhaul trying to take the posters off the side, so he is likely part of the anti-Khameini protestors - uhaul driver is taken into custody by police is this a case of police not having the street sufficiently blocked off and so a guy was able to get a uhaul in here? He should not have been able to drive a uhaul this close to a massive protest crowd There are a lot of people saying this is a terrorist attack, it is possible it could be one but I don't think there's enough information to accurately assert that at this time The chronology of events also shows it is possible that the driver was in fear of his life since protestors were banging on the uhaul, windows, and removing signs+ eventually breaking his window Whatever turns out to be the actual case, it is an unfortunate event and as of right now a seeming silver lining is that no deaths have been reportedshow more
